Driving from the airport in San Diego, the first thing that struck us was green leaves and flowers! Having come from single-digit temps and snowy prospects in New Jersey, I cannot tell you how wonderful it was to see signs of life. :)

During the week, we visited the San Diego Botanical Garden, which was actually located close to our hotel, in nearby Encinitas. The garden falls within Zone 10A, which meant that there was a wealth of new and different plant material to explore. These are just a few of my photos from our visit.

A week ago Saturday, we went from 14 degrees and snowy in New Jersey to 65 and sunny in southern California. My husband had to attend a conference in Carlsbad, CA, and I went along for the ride. What a blessing it was to see blue skies, and sunshine, and flowers in February! These are just a few of my cellphone photos from the trip.

We had the most marvelous time, including two extra days in San Diego, courtesy of a blizzard which dropped over a foot of snow in our hometown. It was snowing again when we arrived home, and the first thing we did after emptying our suitcases was to shovel the driveway. :(

More photos to come next week. ;)

It's been so cold and snowy here in New Jersey this winter. We haven't had days on end of below-zero temps like some of the midwest, but we have had temps in the teens for at least the past two weeks.

Spring will be much appreciated this year.

In the meantime, we had a warm weekend. The mercury rose to 45 degrees
on Saturday, and we went for a long walk at our favorite park, Natirar. Late afternoon was beautiful, as the sun started to drop below the horizon. More snow is on the way next week, so we were blessed to have this respite. :)

Please Note: There will be no Mosaic Monday next week, as I will be out of town. See you on February 16th. :)
